This viewpoint is generally acknowledged as wrong by the scientific community, and Gould is generally acknowledged as a hack who sold out by telling people what they wanted to hear in exchange for book sales.
- runarberg 5y ago> Gould is generally acknowledged as a hack who sold out by telling people what they wanted to hear in exchange for book sales. It’s funny you should say that. Because I generally regard the authors Gould is addressing in his book Mismeasure of Man, including S.G. Morton, C. Murray, A. Jensen, etc. as hacks that used questionable scientific means to tell people what they wanted to hear—namely the superiority of white men—in exchange for book sales.
